Help Foward SMS to multiple contacts

In my old Nokia E72, I can select an SMS, choose 'Forward'. Then it allowed me to edit the message if required, and then it shows me a list of contacts. I can choose one or many or enter numbers manually.

Is this possible in Android 2.2? I have Handcent SMS, but still this can't be done.

(Even when sending new SMSes, selecting "To" box brings me to a list of contacts from which I can choose one or many or enter numbers manually. For some reason, Android appears to make things overly complicated and lost usuability.)
 
The thing is: when upressd COMPOSE MESSAGE. You have upper box named TO: you type te for example and the phone will complite the name for you with teddy for example. than it will move your "coursure" to dialog box for typing the message. u can press the upper box again, where you enter the name and after the first name there will be his/her phone number looking like this: teddy<050876567>,
if there is comma after the number that means that phone is ready for adding new names. sometimes occure that there is no comma. in that case you enter comma and you can enter new names. i think this is a BUG. sometiimes it gives comma by itself and you can easely enter new names sometimes you have to put it there...

for any case (because my english is bad) i will give you an example how it would look messsage with many recipients:
teddy<564632452>, furry<545346372>, carl<5345216>

hope it helps...

Cheers :)
